Since 2002, there have been two versions of the Electoral Roll available. The full (private) Electoral Roll which is restricted and the edited (public) Electoral Roll which is available to businesses for identity checks.
It is possible to opt out of the edited Electoral Roll by means of ticking a box on the Electoral roll form. Once you have opted out then your listing will not be seen by businesses like us who use the Electoral Roll for identity checks. We can only view the edited version. If this is the case, we will need to see additional proof of age before we can process your order.
